A report from Variety indicates that Disney is unlikely to rehire Gunn, despite the support he’s received since being fired after old tweets about pedophilia and trans-misogyny surfaced. The report sources “multiple people familiar with the studio’s current thinking.”

“The feeling within both Disney and Marvel is that the dozens of so-called jokes that Gunn made about pedophilia and rape are unacceptable in the #MeToo era and are not in line with Disney’s family-friendly image,” the report states.

This comes after the outlet’s report that Disney was considering meeting with Gunn to discuss his possible reinstatement.

Disney is also facing a crisis over replacing Gunn in the very near future, with filming set to begin in 2019. Gunn wrote the script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 already, and it’s likely that Disney would choose to get someone else to pen a new version so that they could sever the relationship with Gunn altogether.

On Monday, the cast of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise revealed their united front on the ordeal, issuing a statement signed by every major player across both films, including Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana.

“I’m slated to film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in January, so we don’t know yet, time-wise, where that lines up. I’m hoping it’s not the last time you’ll see me (in the Marvel Cinematic Universe), but I can’t be sure.”
